A group of outcasts with extraordinary abilities must save a crumbling
world from annihilation in this gripping follow-up to The Nobody
People.
Fahima Deeb changed everything seven years ago when she triggered the
Pulse, imbuing millions of people with otherworldly gifts like flight,
telekinesis, or superhuman strength. She thought that would herald the
end of the hostilities between those with abilities and those without,
but it instead highlighted a new problem: There is someone behind the
scenes, able to influence and manipulate these newly empowered people
into committing horrible acts against their will. Worse still, that
shadowy figure is wearing the face of Fahima's oldest friend, Patrick
Davenport. Fahima is horror-struck when she realizes that Patrick has
built an army entirely under his control to wipe out all who oppose him.
With nowhere to turn and few she can trust, Fahima must rely on
uncertain allies: Carrie Norris, whose illusion of a normal life
vanishes at Fahima's reappearance. Clay Weaver, a retired soldier
fighting to keep his husband and son safe--and to keep Patrick from
taking over his mind. And, finally, Emmeline Hirsch, adrift and
untethered from her ability to travel through time. Together, they might
be able to topple Patrick's shadowy regime . . . though it may spell
destruction for the entire world.
